Points ora Good Mixer.

A good mixer must be able to eat a great
deal of food. Milk cannot be made with
out something TO make it from. The COW
does not secrete milk from the air, but
from her blood. and her blood is supplied
from the food she eats. To eat a great
deal a COW must have n strong jaw, and we
may put this down as one of the marks of
a good mixer. A strong jaw does not
necessarily require a big head, at least
what is called bulls head, large in the
upper part, but Il strong lower jaw, with
strong muscles to operate it. Any expan-
sion of the head in other directions may be
a detriment as drawing from her food to
support it.
A good mixer must digest great deal
Of food. This requires an ample stomach
or stomachs, for the COW has four. large
stomach is indicated externally by n large
abdomen and great breadth between the
hips, or a great breadth of loins. A jud 90
of COWS will tell you that q COW should be
wedge shaped, tapering from abdomen to
nose.
A good mixer will have large milk veins
that is, large veins leading to the udder,
under the belly. These large veins indi-
cate a large mixer.
Whether what is called the escutcheon,
the portion of the hind part of the udder
and adjacent parts on which the hairs turn
back in opposition to the general direction
of the hair, is any indication TO the milking
qualities of the COW, is disputed ques-
ton. Many believe that where it is large
it indicates good mixer; where small, a
poor one. Others put no faith in it.
A soft, velvet feeling of the skin, and O
rich, yellow color, especially in the inside
of the ears, is believed to indicate rich
mixer, at least, if not large one. 1t is
believed to show tendency TO fat, and
consequently butter.

IN Eastern Dietc Of EsaStldGe.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has lately written
from New England standpoint upon
feeding, and particularly upon the use of
ensilage. In reference to this matter the
following will apply as well to the West as
to Vermont, in all those regions where
stock is fed in confinement. Mr.. Atkinson
puts the matter as follows:
The average daily consumption in
America by adults of farm dive stock
products is 10 cents worth of meat, 5 cents,
worth of milk, butter, and cheese, and
half cents werth OF eggs. This makes
the annual consumption of the meat
product 81, S25, 900, 900, dairy product
1912, 100000, egg product $9l 100000.
Here it is shown that the egg product
itself is greater than that of pig iron, wool,
and silver together.
1t is the waste of good food to put corn
into pork. We never have enough eggs or
poultry. We never have enough beef; but
with Bismarck closing the doors of Ger
many against US the question is, what shall
we do with our pork? l once thought pork
was condensed corn. But corn in beef
saves protein and loses fat. Corn in pork
loses protein and saves fat. In beef the
nutritious parts of the corn are reinforced;
in pork they are merely lost. 1t needs no
expensive heterogeneous fertilizers. Made

the soil in manure, and leaves farm at
the end of ten years richer than it found it.
1t Is just here that the agriculture of the
Eastern and Middle States has so splendid
an outlook before it. We need to establish
beef factories as We have established
cotton and wooden ones. / have been
laughed at as theorist for saying that two
steers can be fed to an acre. But Mr.
Smiths figures show that one acre can
support four. We want huge beef stables
of heavy timbers. with three-inch plank
sides, and slanting skyights, like the
factories buiit now on the slow burning
principle Of all underwriters. There is no
longer any need of our young men running
about looking for an occupation. Capital
and brains in the beef-factory business
means 2 cents profit pound, and that
means 16 per cent. on the investment per
annum.

Bran as Manure.

Chemical analysis shows that wheat bran
has manurial value of S14.59 per ton at
nitrogen and other fertilizers as is paid for
commercial manures. 1t is especially rich
in phosphates, and these in feeding to
stock go into the manure, except with
rapidly growing animals, when they are
worth still more to go into bone and
growth. 1t is not, therefore, good policy
to use bran directly as manure. Feed 1t
and what of manurial value it has will be
mostly returned to the soil and in more
available form for use by plants. There
is scarcely any part OF the country where
farmers cannot afford to buy bran for feed
ing mich cows, working horses, or young
stock of any kind. 1t is excellent for all
these, and the manure made by feeding 1t
will repay most of the first cost.
